Set on a desirable West Kensington street, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment occupies a bright corner of a handsome Victorian building. High ceilings, original hardwood floors and large dual-aspect windows create a generous, airy feel throughout the open-plan reception and kitchen. A small feature balcony and a window-lit split-level staircase add period charm and useful outdoor space for plants.
The layout works well for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a comfortable central London base. Both bedrooms are good doubles with built-in wardrobes; the property is arranged over multiple levels which helps separate living and sleeping areas. Practical details include double glazing, fast broadband, mains-gas central heating and resident permit parking nearby.
Ownership is on a share-of-freehold basis and the building is self-managed by the owners. The vendor states an underlying lease of approximately 989 years; another listing note indicates 84 years remaining, so buyers should confirm the lease length and any ground-rent position with legal advisers. Service charge is reported as £300 quarterly (approx. £1,200pa) paid to a sinking fund for insurance, cleaning and communal costs.
The location is a strong selling point: a short walk to Barons Court and West Kensington stations, quick access to the A4 and many local shops, cafes and amenities. Practical considerations: EPC rating D, one bathroom only, and the property sits in a solid-brick period building where insulation is assumed absent in original walls. These are manageable for buyers prepared to live in a characterful older home or to invest in targeted upgrades.
